Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium sweet potato, cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 (8 ounce) container extra-firm tofu, drained and cubed
1 cup frozen peas
1 ½ tablespoons curry powder, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt to taste
5 leaves fresh basil, cut into strips
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 small red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, cover, and steam until cooked through but slightly firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tofu and saute until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and peas, followed by curry powder, brown sugar, cumin, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add basil. Pour in coconut milk, slowly, while stirring. Reduce heat and let simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Serve with bell peppers and cilantro.
